We booked to stay in HQ hotel but on arrival were told we weren't staying there but in a guest house 30 yards down the road, the Glen Mona. There is no mention of this in expedia's listing, not good. We were in an attic room up 6 flights of stairs. Owner did say we ciuld.swap later in the week but didn't want to waste a day packing and unpacking so stayed there. Room was very basic, sloping ceiling, small, hot with leaky kettle on such a narrow shelf it was dangerous. En suite was tiny. Shower was awful, water becoming scalding without warning. Tiny sink with rotating taps that at times both had hot.water. Towels were rarely changed, cups rarely cleaned. I had take toilet rolls out of the residents lounge toilets because they were not replaced. I had to clean the toilet myself, it was awful. Found an in cistern blue block in residents lounge which helped a bit. Breakfast was in HQ, which was where we were supposed to be. It was fine, full english either in buffet or to order. Changed randomly. 2 mystery cereals on bar, tasteless yogurt, tangerines and a toaster. Nice room and service was good. Would not recommend at all, good position just off front but so many better options. The Isle.of Man is fantastic, had great weather so barely spent any time in room so stuck with it. Do visit, but not this hotel.

Arrived on early flight, dropped luggage off at 10am and asked if possible would the room be available any earlier than 3pm. Was told to come back and check at 1pm which we did and it was ready, really helpful with young kids! Spacious room, great location and probably one of the best breakfasts on the island.

Good flat but some issues with our stay there

We stayed in this self-catering flat during a recent short break on the island. The location is very good, quiet area just off the seafront, free parking. Flat also had communal lounge. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very good and appointed to a good standard. A few issues spoiled our stay: first of all, this is a basement flat and has only one decent window in the kitchen/lounge, also when we arrived there was a slight smell of smoke and the heating was full on (despite it being a warm spell in August) and I had to get reception to come and tell me where the thermostat was so that I could lower it (this could have been avoided if an information card had been available). The fridge also leaked water but I managed to fix this by temporarily defrosting it (a huge mass of ice had formed on the interior back panel). Sofa was also badly sagging (not like the picture) and requires replacement. Finally, there was no mobile signal and the free wi-fi constantly disconnected. None of these problems spoiled our stay, but management should ensure that they are dealt with before guests arrive.

Mixed experience. Avoid Restaurant!

Food in the restaurant is very poor and way overpriced. Avoid the meatballs in "10 hour tomato sauce". Presumably the leftover plum tomatoes for breakfast. Lazy staff at Breakfast, no coffee or juices being refilled. I asked a lady if nobody was thirsty today, as she'd stood by the empty jugs for 20 mins, browsing on her phone. Had to beg for a knife and fork, to which I got a huff and a kevin the teenager reaction. No glass on my table, so even if there were liquids on offer, I'd presumably have to use my hands to drink them! They didn't bother replacing the bacon either, once it had gone. Gave up and went to my room. Nice decor and room itself was good.

Basic, value for price. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Was in another block away from hotel, that was a bit dated and with a rather musty smell. Room clean, basic. Dated TV with broken remote. Tea and coffee facilities in room, but kettle inexplicably on a very narrow shelf by the door, that is way too small and insecure for something potentially full of boiling water. This is an accident waiting to happen. Overall, value for money re price paid, and only really slept in room. Not a bad choice fora budget break in the lovely IOM Tho suggest some attention is needed to facilities in rooms.

Good as a base

The space was comfortable as a double for 1 person. I feel it might have been a little small if I'd had a companion but it worked well for just me. A good base to explore and good value for money. Personally I would have preferred a larger communal space in the hotel but this might not be a feature of properties locally...from the outside many seemed to be similarly set up. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the space was very clean.

Served a purpose but wouldn’t go back

Stayed one nights ght during TT 25, check in was the k and helpful we arrived early and reception said we could leave our bags and yse the disabled toilet to get changed out of M/C clothing which was good We were then told our rooms were not at the hotel we had checked into they were a walk aling and down the street in other B&B’s the iwners had bought, A pain when carrying lits of luggage and helmets etc. The room was ok nothing special hairs in the ahowere tray, empty toilet roll on holder, a hair bobble on the floor, generaly dusty Blinds looked broken thought best not to touch them The price dor what you got was extortionate even for a busy TT week, the price this week is less is nearly 2/3 less Breakfast was average not very hot, noone explained the aet up, where coffee etc was you had to ask. The radio was on full blast, twice other people asked dir it to be turned down It did the job but I wouldn’t go back,

If you’re going to the TT this is the perfect location. It’s a short walk to the TT village, a short walk to the beach and promenade. Ash, B, Dara, and Phil (as well of the rest of the crew that we didn’t meet personally) took amazing care of us, making our stay a wonderful experience. We had a 3-year-old with us and they were accommodating to her as well. Great time, great people and great property.
